-The cave-dwellers of [[wip:planet:sirris_vi]], Gunja are a low-tech race of hardened survivors that were pushed into the massive cave systems of their planet due to the strong presence of large and extremely dangerous predators; as these caves only had some fungi to offer up for food, however, the Gunja struck out to hunt and kill these predators for food - thus their entire culture (and economy) began to revolve around hunting, featuring the prominent rise of hunters, legends, and heroes.+The cave-dwellers of [[planet:sirris_vi]], Gunja are a low-tech race of hardened survivors that were pushed into the massive cave systems of their planet due to the strong presence of large and extremely dangerous predators; as these caves only had some fungi to offer up for food, however, the Gunja struck out to hunt and kill these predators for food - thus their entire culture (and economy) began to revolve around hunting, featuring the prominent rise of hunters, legends, and heroes.
  
 Unfortunately, their culture also breeds pillagers and looters in the form of brigands, marauders, cut-throats, and bandit overlords - thus making the planet extremely dangerous to inexperienced travelers. Unfortunately, their culture also breeds pillagers and looters in the form of brigands, marauders, cut-throats, and bandit overlords - thus making the planet extremely dangerous to inexperienced travelers.

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-Originally a small-time primate, the Gunja originally roamed the wastes of [[wip:planet:sirris_vi]], thriving from the temperate forests and the fruits and meats they were able to forage and hunt. The discovery of fire led to an increase in protein intake, thus causing their brains to increase in size; having appeared as simple animals to the [[species:deceiver|Deceivers]], though, the latter left [[wip:planet:sirris_vi]] with no knowledge of the extent to which the former's intelligence could develop. Soon after, the Gunja became a primal and tribal species, but their evolution and reliance on tools caused their physiology to develop a bit less - causing many Gunja to die from the dangerous flora and fauna present and forcing the survivors into the planet's gargantuan cave system.+Originally a small-time primate, the Gunja originally roamed the wastes of [[planet:sirris_vi]], thriving from the temperate forests and the fruits and meats they were able to forage and hunt.

 In these caves, without the aforementioned circumstances, the Gunja were able to develop more fully. Their physiology changed, evolving over time into a lot of loose joints and cartilage, an increased physical stature, and a very slender average shape. In these caves, their technological advancements were slow but present; first was metal, next was gunpowder, and last was the discovery of several sources of primitive fuels that soon became refinable - thereby leading to the creation of vehicles the Gunja refer to as "cave-crawlers." Currently, there are countless Gunja villages in the caves - and a proportionate number of bandit camps. In these caves, without the aforementioned circumstances, the Gunja were able to develop more fully.

 ==== Diet ==== ==== Diet ====
-The Gunja diet has gone through a process similar to what the Gunja themselves went through when they fled the surface world and opted to live in the massive cave system on [[wip:planet:sirris_vi]]. Where they originally had meat from the smaller predators they could hunt with primitive means, once they moved to the caves, the Gunja began feeding themselves with the fungi and reptilian critters they could find - which lead to the change in their overall physique and the formation of the "modern" slender, over-abundant-cartilage-possessing Gunja.+The Gunja diet has gone through a process similar to what the Gunja themselves went through when they fled the surface world and opted to live in the massive cave system on [[planet:sirris_vi]].

 Now that the Gunja are able to take the fight to the larger predators of Sirris VI with their primitive fuels and black powder, their diet consists of more meat - though they still rely on fungi for both protein and carbohydrates. Grains and such are a rarity and considered a luxury food among the Gunja. Now that the Gunja are able to take the fight to the larger predators of Sirris VI with their primitive fuels and black powder, their diet consists of more meat - though they still rely on fungi for both protein and carbohydrates.

 The cave systems of Sirris VI consist of extremely large passages where even tanks could roll through, though these often break off in a myriad of smaller passages of varied sizes or lead to one of the larger settlements in a massive clearing. Explosions are often audible and are a telltale sign of a settlement expanding. Gunshots also echo throughout the caverns, though they're extremely difficult to pinpoint by anyone that isn't an experienced tracker. The cave systems of Sirris VI consist of extremely large passages where even tanks could roll through, though these often break off in a myriad of smaller passages of varied sizes or lead to one of the larger settlements in a massive clearing.
